Our "Hunker Down" portfolio is now about two months old and it's doing what it was designed to do.That is - generating a cash income that we hope is solid enough to continue through "thick and thin," whatever that turns out to be.Income up slightly, as one fund, FLC, increased its dividend, no distribution cuts (cross our fingers!).

We believe the overall credit health of the preferred market remains strong.Fixed income markets have seemingly come full circle thus far in 2020.Preferreds with exposure to commercial real estate, consumer spending, and energy all still offer above-average yield and total return potential.
